Shard | Shard of Versatility

And where the hell would you get the fire target from? Would depend on AI a lot, no?

If start with fire to say, fractal the Minor Phoenix and then use a cheap spark (Cremation target) for aether, that'd be balanced.

I like!

Good point. And it raises a question... What about the pillars? Are they considered targets?

Quantum Pillar is randomly generated, then?

I think this is a wonderful idea.  I hope it becomes a card used in the game.

Nice idea overall, though I don't see much use for it. Could you give an example of a deck you would use this in?

[QuantumT]

I would use it as quanta fixing if it generated more quanta in some way (ie it makes a pillar of whatever element you target), but as it is, I don't think I would use it.

Edited so that it doesn't look underpowered.

It could be used in rainbows. They need the initial quanta to get started, but then you could switch your mark around to get quanta of a specific element. I could see it being useful in CCYB as you could versatalize a card you want to fractal, allowing you to play out more of them than just QT's could generate. Poor example, but you get the idea.

This card acts like a ?-Pillar, it's like having a card in your hand that allows you to lay down any type of pillar you wish.  But they do not stack, and many decks rely on mark alone for a certain quantum type.  I can see this being used in combination with pendulums to "burst" a type of quanta you're short on.  Or to make up for bad luck drawing a certain type of pillar in a duo/trio deck.

This would be pretty effective in a specially-designed mindgate deck. Could be very interesting.

[The_Mormegil]

I would probably use this 6x in most of my decks. It's very good for versatile quanta generation. Although... a shard? That makes me unhappy. Rare + 1500  to use it... it's much...

Can't really fit it into a specific element, can you?

What about another kind of card? Untyped.

Quantum Machine | Quantum Engine
Cost: 2 | 2
Spell
Effect:
Change your Mark to target's type and gain a Pillar | Tower of that element.

This way you keep the mechanics, you keep the difference of it being upped/unupped (since upped gains a Tower), and you can still use it unupped. Changing one's Mark is not (as has been suggested) as good as having out a pillar of a different element - although it can be more versatile. So this costing 2 quanta to gain a pillar and change the Mark doesn't seem overpowered at all, even of an unupped card...
